About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I can care for cats and dogs. I personally have a 110 lb dog, so giant dogs don’t bother me. I’ve spent two weeks house sitting for family friends before to care for there couple labs. I’m currently in college part time with online classes, I have tons of flexibility with my time. I can wake up early to walk your pets, since how hot it has been lately. I have a 110 lb Pitt-bull mastiff mix that I walk daily, and care since she is my fur baby. I understand how people will react to big dogs on walks and I have the ability to control a big dog is startled or provoked.
“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”
“Positively amazing! Met with me on short notice and took care of my pup later that same week. Good communication throughout and even went the extra mile to come back and let my dog go to the bathroom later in the evening at no extra charge! Would recommend 10/10 dog sitter! She is a life saver”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs when I was little but took a little break. I do have great experience with other dogs and I enjoy giving them company! I am currently home for a while, so I have a lot of time to spare! I’m currently not working a job, and I’m a full time student on winter break! I have a nice fenced yard that is pet friendly. I don’t have any other pets at my house and I don’t have any children!
“Abigail was great! She cleaned up after our cats constantly when they had accidents and never complained. She showed up on time each day, checked in constantly and gave us constant updates. Will definitely rebook.”
About: I’m a teacher who loves to take care of pets in his spare time. I can walk your dog, play with your dog or cat, take care of your cats needs and can house sit as needed. I am free on Thursdays and Fridays as far as week days go. I also can work on the weekend too. I just need notice so that I can accommodate. I am very good at respecting the space of the owners home and can make sure that things are in good order both during and after pet sitting.
About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life, and caring for animals has always come natural to me and has been a part of my day-to-day for many years. I raised my cat, Winnie, for 20 years, and I currently have 2 pups of my own: a 13-year-old female Alaskan Klee Kai/Corgi mix and 3-year-old male Corgi, so I am familiar with senior dogs and high-energy younger pups. I am currently between work and trying to stay busy and earn some income while my son is at school. I am available after school drop-off from 8:30/9 am until 3:15 pm. If your pets are comfortable with younger children, I can do drop-ins and walks after my son is out of school and on weekends, but that can be discussed privately. I create a calm environment where your pets will feel safe. With my own senior pup and younger corgi at home, I am used to balancing different needs and energies. I will follow your directions and routines closely and watch your pets' body language to keep everyone happy and safe.
“Sydney is always incredibly thoughtful in how she cares for our pets. We always know they are in good hands with get. She is incredibly communicative while we're away. We will continue to book her.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently have 2 cats with me in Hillsboro, but at my parents house we do have 2 dogs I work M-F 8:30-5ish. I have an hour to an hour and half lunch break. I’m available to stay 24 hours on weekends if needed If your pet needs any special needs please write them out. I will treat your home and pet as if they were my own and will clean up any form of mess that is made.
About: Hello! My name is Allison, and I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, puppies, birds, hamsters, and farm animals. I grew up in a family that owned multiple pet stores, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care from a young age. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me and will get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles! 🤎 I’m currently available full-time, including weekdays and weekends 😊 I’m home most of the day, so pets will get plenty of attention, supervision, and time to play or relax. I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine, but otherwise they’re welcome to roam the house and enjoy time in the backyard. I’m flexible and always try to follow each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home! 🐾 I have a fully fenced in large backyard that your pet can explore! My house has plenty of space for your pet to stretch out and make themselves feel at home. I also live near a large dog park!
“Mandy was quick to respond to any change or urgent messages. She was flexible and able to help monitor my cat’s sore that needed to be checked to see that it didn’t reappear.”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. Most recently I had two wonderful Boxers who both had medical conditions and required medication every day. One of which had a very specific routine requiring multiple special feedings a day. I am a first responder, am first aid and CPR trained, and will treat your furry companion like family. I recently lost my soul dog so am very flexible on the days I don’t work. Unfortunately I work 12 hours shifts so I can’t commit to the first half of the week. I will treat your pet as my own, and will respect your home like I would want someone to respect mine. I will follow all rules you set forth meticulously.
About: I am experienced at caring for small to medium sized dogs, and have experience walking large dogs. I love to play, cuddle dogs, and take them on long walks. I volunteered for a few months at the shelter cleaning cages and taking small dogs out to walk and play. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, allowing me to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I am adaptable and can adjust to your pet's specific needs. I am able to travel or stay at your home to watch your pets. I am serious about safety and keeping doors locked at all times. I like to keep the home clean, especially for your return.
About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals at our farms and my dad's veterinarian practice. I have always had cats and dogs and sometimes a turtle. I have dog walked for others, off and on, for 20 years. I am currently between positions as a professional educator and am looking to fill my time and make some extra money. I am usually available all days. We have a fenced yard and 2 50 pound rescue mutts and 2 rescue cats. I only walk dogs on fixed leashes and inspect your home and clean up any potential accidents.
About: I have been dog-sitting consistently since 2016, and it's something I truly love! My budget and schedule doesn't allow me to have a dog right now, but I love getting to care for others when they need someone reliable and trustworthy to help them out! I work part time and have a pretty flexible job, so can work with your schedule and needs. Reach out to me and we'll see if we can work it out! I am very thorough, detail-oriented, and responsible. I always aim to care for your pets the way I would care for my own, so rest assured, they will be in good hands!
About: I truly love what I do! 🐾 I’ve been a full-time trusted Rover sitter for 4 years, but my experience caring for animals spans over 15 years. From dogs and cats to reptiles and farm animals, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds and temperaments. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care so both you and your pets can feel comfortable, safe, and at ease while you’re away! When I house sit, I treat your home and pets with the same level of care and respect as my own. I understand how important it is to have a responsible sitter, and I take pride in keeping your space tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. (For 24/7 care, or pets that can’t be alone over 4 hours- rate is $125 a night) What you can expect when I house sit: ✔️ A structured, attentive routine for your pet. I will follow any care guide that’s provided ✔️ A 30-minute walk per day (or more if preferred) ✔️ A clean and tidy home upon your return (leave me a broom & supplies, and I’ll freshen up your space!) ✔️ Consistent communication and updates I will NEVER: ✔️Bring over guests without discussing prior ✔️ Leave a pet alone longer than they’re used to. I prioritize maintaining their routine so they feel secure during my stay :) I’ve had a Boxer and a Beagle in my family for over a decade. I completed training school to learn proper manners and behavior techniques, which I apply as needed with the pets I care for. My dogs remain at my family home, so they won’t be present during pet sits I’m lucky enough to care for animals full time! I’m also a (very) part-time personal assistant on most Tuesdays and Fridays, but I always keep my availability updated If you have an athletic or active dog, I'm the person for you! Trips to parks, running the trails, and playing in the water can happen any time. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since middle school. Ive been reliable to family and friends and neighbors for taking care of all types of different dogs. I am currently working a part time job at my local gym at 5 PM so it gives me time to hang out and play with your pet(s) and lets us grow a better bond. I have a fenced yard and two doggos if your pet needs a friend to play with, they will be more than happy to play. If needed, I can crate your dog(s)

Patricia is a very caring and thoughtful cat sitter. My two cats were very well taken care of. One cat greeted her each day and was loving the attention given to her. My other cat is very skittish and only made an appearance a couple of times. But Patricia was very patient and just the her have her space, which is exactly what my kitty needed. We will be booking with her again.
Isaac is awesome! We have 3 dogs, 2 very large Cane Corsos and a pitbull mix. Our male Corso is the challenge, his trust has to be earned before he relaxes. He is actually our most loving dog, but not to strangers. He’s a guard dog no question. Issac is working with him, earning his trust and is not intimidated by him. ( thank goodness 🙏). We have FINALLY found someone! I highly recommend Isaac.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cornelius is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,614 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cornelius. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cornelius. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
